My mom loves to putter in her garden. Her birthday was yesterday so I made her a little somethin' somethin' with one of the blocks. (Thankfully she knows me well enough to not expect a gift on time!)
I love the mix of the rough-textured block (I didn't sand it except for a smidge on the sides; didn't want it to be splinterish) and the soft, feminine touch of the flower, cheesecloth and swirly bit in the back.
The flower is made with TH's Tattered Florals die cut from a scrap of experimental paper that I had smoodged color all over a while ago. I also stamped some text over the flowers for a little interest and backed it with spritzed and inked up seam binding.
Love this garden quote.
I am adding this to the Our Creative Corner challenge: Handmade Flowers and Hand-dyed Ribbon here.
Thank you for stopping by today!
